One Piece: Hashirama Template

To deal with Baroque Works as quickly as possible, Link and the other three sped up their journey.

Finally, at dusk, they successfully arrived at the City of Dreams, Rainbase.

For more than two years, the Alabasta Kingdom, apart from Rainbase and the port cities, had fallen into civil war.

Among them, Rainbase, due to Crocodile's presence, was not only unaffected by the civil war but had become even more prosperous than before.

Pirates did not dare to cause trouble here, and the drought had not affected the city.

Because of this, Crocodile had a great number of supporters in the Alabasta Kingdom.

If Cobra were to drive Crocodile out of the Alabasta Kingdom without any evidence, he would surely lose the support of the people of Rainbase.

Once the entire Alabasta Kingdom no longer trusted the Nefertari Royal Family, and the local people overthrew them, the World Government could only tacitly accept the change of dynasty in the Alabasta Kingdom.

This was Crocodile's Operation Utopia.

After arriving in Rainbase, Link used his Wood Style to create a box, put Crocodile inside, and had a wood clone stay behind to guard it.

He then took Karīna and the other two women towards Crocodile's main base, the casino.

"Wood Style: Wood Clone Technique!"

Passing through an empty area, Link consumed a considerable amount of chakra to create a powerful wood clone.

As soon as the wood clone appeared, it instantly vanished.

Seeing this, Nami couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Link, what did you send the wood clone to do?"

Link didn't hide it, saying, "I sent it to take care of the Baroque Works Officer Agents."

"Eh?"

Nami was even more confused. "Aren't we going to deal with them now?"

Link shook his head and smiled, "Of course not. I don't need to act personally for such small fry. I'm going to meet the mysterious person who helped Vivi and gave me information about Crocodile."

Hearing this, the eyes of Karīna and the other two women lit up.

Vivi quickly asked, "Could it be that you know who that mysterious person is, Link?"

Link looked at the nearby casino and said with a meaningful smile, "I don't know right now, but if that person has been watching me, I'll know who it is once I get to the casino."

Link had actually long since discovered the spying vulture and tanuki, he had just pretended not to know.

Link was very clear that from the moment he set foot on Sandy Island, no... to be precise, from the moment he left Whiskey Peak, he had entered Robin's line of sight.

Robin secretly sending him information about Crocodile was clearly a bet on both sides, hoping he could defeat Crocodile.

As long as Crocodile was defeated, Robin wouldn't need to start a massive war involving a hundred thousand people with him to obtain the Poneglyph guarded by the Nefertari Royal Family for generations.

She could use negotiation to make a deal with Vivi.

For Robin, the Poneglyph was more important than anything else.

Before obtaining the Poneglyph, she would absolutely not leave the Alabasta Kingdom, let alone flee!

Therefore, Link was very certain that Robin was waiting for him inside the casino right now.

And as expected...

When Link's group of four arrived at the casino entrance, a man in a suit immediately walked over and said respectfully, "Lord Impaler, my boss invites you up for a meeting."

Karīna and the other two women showed surprise, while Link smiled and nodded, "Then please lead the way."

"It is my honor. Please follow me!"

The man bowed and then led Link's group of four into the VIP elevator to the top floor.

On the top floor, Link's group found only a single corridor with a closed door at the end.

The man did not lead them to the door but stopped at the elevator entrance and gestured with his hand, "My boss is inside. You can just push the door and go in."

Link nodded, then led Karīna and the other two women towards the door.

On the way, the system's notification sounds began to ring in Link's mind.

"Ding! An enemy has been killed, gaining 0.58% experience!"

"Ding! An enemy has been killed, gaining 0.42% experience!"

"Ding! An enemy has been killed, gaining 0.40% experience!"

"..."

"Ding! An enemy has been killed, gaining 0.77% experience!"

Several notifications sounded almost simultaneously, clearly indicating they were all eliminated at the same time.

Each notification gave Link more experience than Arlong.

Especially the last one, which was as high as 0.77% experience, was clearly from the strongest of the Officer Agents, Mr. 1, Daz Bonez.

Sharing the intelligence from his wood clone, Link learned that there were a total of nine Baroque Works Officer Agents.

From Mr. 5 and his partner up to Mr. 1 and his partner.

Among the Officer Agents, only Mr. 2 Bon Kurei had no partner.

The wood clone had taken out eight of them, leaving only Mr. 2 alive.

Link never left survivors, except for people he had a good impression of.

In this world, the people Link had a good impression of were almost all female characters; male characters were very few.

Bon Kurei was one of them.

Although he was an okama, he was one of the true men of the pirate world.

Apart from Bon Kurei, Link's wood clone killed all the other female partners of the Officer Agents, including the little girl-like Miss Goldenweek.

Although she was a 16-year-old loli, she had a bounty of twenty-nine million Beri, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

She also gave Link 0.45% experience, which was higher than Arlong's.

Having killed so many people, Link had long become adept at being ruthless to women.

As long as it wasn't a female character he had a good impression of, Link could kill them without a change in expression, even if they were very beautiful.

In the world of anime, there was no shortage of beautiful women.

The personalities and souls of those female agents were not to Link's liking.

The eight Officer Agents gave Link a total of 3.92% experience!

Summoning the virtual panel that only he could see, Link glanced at the experience bar, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.

[Host: Link]

[Inheritance Template: Hashirama Senju]

[Unlocking Progress: 20.85% (+)]

[Experience: 9.07%]

Just by taking out eight people, his experience instantly jumped from 5.15% to 9.07%, several times more than wiping out four pirate crews.

Changing course to hunt Baroque Works was indeed the best choice.

On any other unfamiliar route, it would be difficult for Link to find so many elite mobs who had eaten Devil Fruits.

Just 0.93% more experience, and his stored experience would break through 10%!

At that time, Link could find out if the system loophole truly existed
